Definitions
Blood groups are determined by antigens
structures on the surfaces or red cells and
are detected by reactions with specific
antibodies.
A blood group system is defined by
antigens that are regulated either by allelic
genes or closely linked genes.
Nov 14, 2016
The number or red cell blood groups now exceeds 400 (tab 1).

Blood donors with particularly strong antiA, anti-B or any atypical blood group
antibody are excluded from blood donation.
The possible reactions of anti-A and anti-B
antibodies present in the transfused blood to
the recipients RBCs need not be considered,
because a relatively small volume of plasma
containing antibodies is transfused

2. Immunized animals
If animals are immunized with human red cells
may form a.bodies to certain of the
xenogeneic blood group a.g important
source of blood group anti sera carefully
absorbed with human red cells to establish
specificity.
Recently developed a.g specific monoclonal
a.bodies do not require such absorption.

3. Immunized humans
The third major source of the blood group anti
bodies are donors who have been
allogenically immunized either by (1) prior
blood transfusions or (2) previous pregnancies
immune antibodies elicited by prior
exposure to red cell a.g are commonly IgGs
33
Methods of detection
1. Agglutination by specific antibody
Under physiologic conditions of pH and ionic
strength, normal red cells repel each other
owing to their negative surface charge or
zeta potential
2. Enhancement of agglutination by antibody
a. Reduction of zeta potential
Can be reduced by addition of colloid (alb,
polyvinylpyrrolidone or dextran).

ABO SYSTEM
a. Historical notes
In subsequent work Landsteiner recognized
that the pattern of reactions could be
explained by two a.g, which designated A
and B. O signified the state of not having A
or B.

A antigen and anti-A are complex. Anti-A
serum from a group B donor contains 2 types

Genetics
Determining the blood group : genotype and
phenotype. A child receives one of four genes
from each parent : A1, A2, B, or O. Six phenotypes
are possible because the A a.g associated with
group A2 and also A1.
There are ten possible genotypes. Group A1 may
have 3 genotypes (A1 A1, A1 O, A1A2). Group A2
can have either A2A2 or A2 O genotypes. Group B
can have either BB or BO genotypes

Genotype :
- specific genes that person carries
- determined by family studies
- AA, AO, BB, BO, AB and OO

Phenotype :
Four phenotypes : A, B, AB and O
Although there are ten possible genotypes,
the absence of a specific anti-O prevents the
serological recognition of more than four
phenotypes. (table 5)

H antigen
The surfaces oligosaccharides that
constitutes the H a.g is the precursor of the
A and B a.g
Gene A & B responsible for converting H
substance into A & B substance
The O gene is an amorph and doesnt
transform the H substance

b. P system
These ag were recognized by antisera
developed in rabbits glycosphingolipids
and originate on a ceramide dihexose (GalGal-ceramide)
c. Ii system
Most cold a.bodies have specificity against
the Ii a.g system. These a.g are found in red
cells and nonhematopoietic tissue

3. Kidd system
Immunization to Kidd is caused mainly by
transfusions. Kidd a.b are evanescent warm-active
incomplete a.b that may not be detected in red cell
a.b screens. Consequently they often cause
delayed transfusions rx, which may be severe.
4. Lutheran system
There are 2 common alleles, Lua and Lub and a
silent one. The double-negative phenotype caused
by either dominant inhibitor gene or a recessive
silent allele.
